Answer:
Option (a). The equation
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of change of any equation or graph is represented by its slope 'm'.
In an equation y = mx + b
'm' represents the slope.
Given equation is,
y = 0.25x
Slope of the line m₁ = 0.25
From the graph attached,
A line passes through two points (0, 0) and (5, 1)
Slope of the line = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
m₂ = [tex]\frac{1-0}{5-0}[/tex]
m₂ = 0.2
m₁ > m₂
Therefore, unit rate of change in y is greater in the given equation.
Option (a) will be the answer.
